spring

This is a noun verb pair. If you use a single motion it means "grow." If you use a double motion it means "springtime" or "garden" or "a plant." Note: To sign garden, I sign "grow" using a small, quick motion, then I move my hands a couple inches to the right and sign "grow" again.

Springtime uses a double motion.

GROW uses a single motion.

Here is an initialized sign for PLANT. Some people consider this ASL, but many don't. It means "plant" as in "a potted plant."

Suppose you needed a sign for "planting" or I'm going to "plant" my garden this weekend? You could use the sign below. Make sure to "rub your fingers and thumb together" as you move the hand forward about a foot. If you don't move the hand forward and you rub the fingers and thumb together a couple times--it can mean "seeds."
